- Roughly chop the broccoli florets. Cook until soft in lightly salted water. Drain and mix with butter and cream cheese. Season with salt and pepper.

We would not recommend corn starch.
The mushrooms are a critical component of this dish as it's a mushroom sauce.
That would probably work well but would make a very different dish.
Yes, you can use beef or chicken liver.
I am so glad you enjoyed this one!
